Tiny Review, a company that allows users to lend expression to their photographs in just three lines, took home the top prize as overall winner and walked away with two prized meetings with top venture capitalists. Co-Founder and Lead Designer, Melissa Miranda rocked it with her presentation.

Perfect Beauty, product marketplace and community for women based on trusted beauty and self-image advice, won the "Most Disruptive Startup" title. Most promising team went to Tara Hunt, Jerome Paradis, and Cassandra Girard from shopping Q&A platform, Buyosphere.

Other companies that pitched included Kismet, a real time, location based social app for meeting new people; DINKlife, a social platform targeted towards couples without kids; Evo, an app that gives working parents updates from their baby's monitor on iPhone; Hotseat, an interview prep community; and Prosperity, provider of small business budgeting software.

Successful women entrepreneurs shared valuable corporate lessons. Every woman in the room – founder, investor, designer or engineer – had a story to tell. People sat on floors, crowded hallways, attended mentor sessions to learn, network and share.

It was by far one of the few tech conferences where women set the tone.

"Our mission is to increase women founders," said Sepideh Nasiri, director of sponsorships and events at Women 2.0. "We’re trying to bring balance to the ecosystem."
